Pensacola mayoral candidates to participate in public forum

Four candidates for Mayor of Pensacola will participate in a public forum hosted by The Pensacola News Journal on Aug. 2.

Democrats Jewel Cannada-Wynn, Sherri Myers, D.C. Reeves and Steven Sharp are running to replace Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson, who is not seeking reelection.

The forum will take place at The REX Theatre at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30.

If none of the four candidates receives 50 percent of the vote in the Aug. 23 Primary Election, the two receiving the most votes will go head to head in a runoff on the Nov. 8 General Election.
